<p>Power Your Home with Solar Panels for Less<br /> Oscar rose. " Y=
es," he broke in, " everybody' s laughing to see you get took in;=
at your age, too. Everybody knows he' s nearly five years younger than you=
, and is after your money. Why, Alexandra, you are forty years old!" &=
quot; All that doesn' t concern anybody but Carl and me. Go to town and ask=
your lawyers what you can do to restrain me from disposing of my own prope=
rty. And I advise you to do what they tell you; for the authority you can e=
xert by law is the only influence you will ever have over me again." A=
lexandra rose. " I think I would rather not have lived to find out wha=
t I have to-day," she said quietly, closing her desk. Lou and Oscar lo=
oked at each other questioningly. There seemed to be nothing to do but to g=
o, and they walked out. " You can' t do business with women," Osc=
ar said heavily as he clambered into the cart. " But anyhow, we' ve ha=
d our say, at last." Lou scratched his head. " Talk of that kind =
might come too high, you know; but she' s apt to be sensible. You hadn' t o=
ught to said that about her age, though, Oscar. I' m afraid that hurt her f=
eelings; and the worst thing we can do is to make her sore at us. She' d ma=
rry him out of contrariness." " I only meant," said Oscar, &=
quot; that she is old enough to know better, and she is. If she was going t=
o marry, she ought to done it long ago, and not go making a fool of herself=
now." Lou looked anxious, nevertheless. " Of course," he re=
flected hopefully and inconsistently, " Alexandra ain' t much like oth=
er women-folks. Maybe it won' t make her sore. Maybe she' d as soon be fort=
y as not!" XI Emil came home at about half-past seven o' clock that ev=
ening. Old Ivar met him at the windmill and took his horse, and the young m=
an went directly into the house. He called to his sister and she answered f=
rom her bedroom, behind the sitting-room, saying that she was lying down. E=
mil went to her door. " Can I see you for a minute?" he asked. &q=
uot; I want to talk to you about something before Carl comes." Alexand=
ra rose quickly and came to the door. " Where is Carl?" " Lo=
u and Oscar met us and said they wanted to talk to him, so he rode over to =
Oscar' s with them. Are you coming out?" Emil asked impatiently. "=
; Yes, sit down. I' ll be dressed in a moment." Alexandra closed her d=
oor, and Emil sank down on the old slat lounge and sat with his head in his=
hands. When his sister came out, he looked up, not knowing whether the int=
erval had been short or long, and he was surprised to see that the room had=
grown quite dark. That was just as well; it would be easier to talk if he =
were not under the gaze of those clear, deliberate eyes, that saw so far in=
some directions and were so blind in others. Alexandra, too, was glad of t=
he dusk. Her face was swollen from crying. Emil started up and then sat dow=
n again. " Alexandra," he said slowly, in his deep young baritone=
, " I don' t want to go away to law school this fall. Let me put it of=
f another year. I want to take a year off and look around. It' s awfully ea=
sy to rush into a profession you don' t really like, and awfully hard to ge=
t out of it. Linstrum and I have been talking about that." " Very=
well, Emil. Only don' t go off looking for land." She came up and put=
her hand on his shoulder. " I' ve been wishing you could stay with me=
this winter." " That' s just what I don' t want to do, Alexandra=
I' m restless. I want to go to a new place. I want to go down to the City=
of Mexico to join one of the University fellows who' s at the head of an e=
lectrical plant. He wrote me he could give me a little job, enough to pay m=
y way, and I could look around and see what I want to do. I want to go as s=
oon as harvest is over. I guess Lou and Oscar will be sore about it." =
" I suppose they will." Alexandra sat down on the lounge beside h=
im. " They are very angry with me, Emil. We have had a quarrel. They w=
ill not come here again." Emil scarcely heard what she was saying; he =
did not notice the sadness of her tone. He was thinking about the reckless =
life he meant to live in Mexico. " What about?" he asked absently=
" About Carl Linstrum. They are afraid I am going to marry him, and =
that some of my property will get away from them." Emil shrugged his s=
houlders. " What nonsense!" he murmured. " Just like them.&q=
uot; Alexandra drew back. " Why nonsense, Emil?" " Why, you'=
ve never thought of such a thing, have you? They always have to have somet=
hing to fuss about." " Emil," said his sister slowly, "=
you ought not to take things for granted. Do you agree with them that I ha=
ve no right to change my way of living?" Emil looked at the outline of=
his sister' s head in the dim light. They were sitting close together and =
he somehow felt that she could hear his thoughts. He was silent for a momen=
t, and then said in an embarrassed tone, " Why, no, certainly not. You=
ought to do whatever you want to. I' ll always back you." " But =
it would seem a little bit ridiculous to you if I married Carl?" Emil =
fidgeted. The issue seemed to him too far-fetched to warrant discussion. &q=
uot; Why, no. I should be surprised if you wanted to. I can' t see exactly =
why. But that' s none of my business. You ought to do as you please. Certai=
nly you ought not to pay any attention to what the boys say." Alexandr=
a sighed. " I had hoped you might understand, a little, why I do want =
to. But I suppose that' s too much to expect. I' ve had a pretty lonely lif=
e, Emil. Besides Marie, Carl is the only friend I have ever had." Emil=
was awake now; a name in her last sentence roused him. He put out his hand=
and took his sister' s awkwardly. " You ought to do just as you wish,=
and I think Carl' s a fine fellow. He and I would always get on. I don' t =
believe any of the things the boys say about him, honest I don' t. They are=
suspicious of him because he' s intelligent. You know their way. They' ve =
been sore at me ever since you let me go away to college. They' re always t=
rying to catch me up. If I were you, I wouldn' t pay any attention to them.=
There' s nothing to get upset about. Carl' s a sensible fellow. He won' t =
mind them." " I don' t know. If they talk to him the way they did=
to me, I think he' ll go away." Emil grew more and more uneasy. "=
; Think so? Well, Marie said it would serve us all right if you walked off =
with him." " Did she? Bless her little heart! SHE would." Al=
exandra' s voice broke. Emil began unlacing his leggings. " Why don' t=
you talk to her about it? There' s Carl, I hear his horse. I guess I' ll g=
o upstairs and get my boots off. No, I don' t want any supper. We had suppe=
r at five o' clock, at the fair." Emil was glad to escape and get to h=
is own room. He was a little ashamed for his sister, though he had tried no=
t to show it. He felt that there was something indecorous in her proposal, =
and she did seem to him somewhat ridiculous. There was trouble enough in th=
e world, he reflected, as he threw himself upon his bed, without people who=
were forty years old imagining they wanted to get married. In the darkness=
and silence Emil was not likely to think long about Alexandra. Every image=
slipped away but one. He had seen Marie in the crowd that afternoon. She s=
old candy at the fair. WHY had she ever run away with Frank Shabata, and ho=
w could she go on laughing and working and taking an interest in things? Wh=
y did she like so many people, and why had she seemed pleased when all the =
French and Bohemian boys, and the priest himself, crowded round her candy s=
tand? Why did she care about any one but him? Why could he never, never fin=
d the thing he looked for in her playful, affectionate eyes? Then he fell t=
o imagining that he looked once more and found it there, and what it would =
be like if she loved him,--she who, as Alexandra said, could give her whole=
heart. In that dream he could lie for hours, as if in a trance. His spirit=
went out of his body and crossed the fields to Marie Shabata. At the Unive=
rsity dances the girls had often looked wonderingly at the tall young Swede=
with the fine head, leaning against the wall and frowning, his arms folded=
, his eyes fixed on the ceiling or the floor. All the girls were a little a=
fraid of him. He was distinguished-looking, and not the jollying kind. They=
felt that he was too intense and preoccupied. There was something queer ab=
out him. Emil' s fraternity rather prided itself upon its dances, and somet=
imes he did his duty and danced every dance. But whether he was on the floo=
r or brooding in a corner, he was always thinking about Marie Shabata. For =
two years the storm had been gathering in him. XII Carl came into the sitti=
ng-room while Alexandra was lighting the lamp. She looked up at him as she =
adjusted the shade. His sharp shoulders stooped as if he were very tired, h=
is face was pale, and there were bluish shadows under his dark eyes. His an=
ger had burned itself out and left him sick and disgusted. " You have =
seen Lou and Oscar?" Alexandra asked. " Yes." His eyes avoid=
ed hers. Alexandra took a deep breath. " And now you are going away. I=
thought so." Carl threw himself into a chair and pushed the dark lock=
back from his forehead with his white, nervous hand. " What a hopeles=
s position you are in, Alexandra!" he exclaimed feverishly. " It =
is your fate to be always surrounded by little men. And I am no better than=
the rest. I am too little to face the criticism of even such men as Lou an=
d Oscar. Yes, I am going away; to-morrow. I cannot even ask you to give me =
a promise until I have something to offer you. I thought, perhaps, I could =
do that; but I find I can' t." " What good comes of offering peop=
le things they don' t need?" Alexandra asked sadly. " I don' t ne=
ed money. But I have needed you for a great many years. I wonder why I have=
been permitted to prosper, if it is only to take my friends away from me.&=
quot; " I don' t deceive myself," Carl said frankly. " I kno=
w that I am going away on my own account. I must make the usual effort. I m=
ust have something to show for myself. To take what you would give me, I sh=
ould have to be either a very large man or a very small one, and I am only =
in the middle class." Alexandra sighed. " I have a feeling that i=
f you go away, you will not come back. Something will happen to one of us, =
or to both. People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this world=
It is always easier to lose than to find. What I have is yours, if you ca=
re enough about me to take it." Carl rose and looked up at the picture=
of John Bergson. " But I can' t, my dear, I can' t! I will go North a=
t once. Instead of idling about in California all winter, I shall be gettin=
g my bearings up there. I won' t waste another week. Be patient with me, Al=
exandra. Give me a year!" " As you will," said Alexandra wea=
rily. " All at once, in a single day, I lose everything; and I do not =
know why. Emil, too, is going away." Carl was still studying John Berg=
son' s face and Alexandra' s eyes followed his. " Yes," she said,=
" if he could have seen all that would come of the task he gave me, h=
e would have been sorry. I hope he does not see me now. I hope that he is a=
mong the old people of his blood and country, and that tidings do not reach=
him from the New World." </p>=20
